DAM

1.5. Administration

1.5.1. Upgrade to TYPO3 4.1

TYPO3 4.1 has support for foreign MM table handling included. The extension mmforeign provided the functionality needed by extension using DAM file references like dam_ttcontent does.

mmforeign is no longer needed when TYPO3 4.1 is used. However the mm table format changed a little bit. The mm table use the field sorting_foreign which was sorting before. This means by upgrading to TYPO3 4.1 all sorting of file references in content elements would be lost.

DAM has an upgrade function builtin. Just go into the Extension Manager details view of the dam extension. That's where some configuration options are displayed. The conversion of the mm table for references will be done silently. This work as long as no editing of files references was done after upgrade.

Downgrade to 3.x-4.0 is not supported. To do so the field

tx_dam_mm_ref.sorting_foreign

needs to be renamed back to tx_dam_mm_ref.sorting.
